NHL 2K10 Online

Gameplay is of course the top dog, but testing your skills across the world has become a staple of sports games. When it works fine nobody notices, but its problems can cause uproar. It�s gotten to the point where playing the AI is boring, even though that�s all we had growing up.

NHL 2K10 skates into stores on Tuesday and it claims to be completely outdo its most recent predecessor. I can say right now that the game is much improved over NHL 2K9 but I�m here to focus on the online part of the game. While it�s tough to play Team Up mode when there is nobody online for an unreleased game, I was able to play a few games with one of the producers of 2K Sports� latest hockey offering.

In the three exhibition matches we played, I experienced absolutely no problems. The game ran so smoothly that I couldn�t even tell I was online. Hockey moves at such a swift pace that a seamless online experience is integral.

In addition to the regular ranked and exhibition matches we�ve played hundreds of times, there is the aforementioned Team Up mode. There is also the ability to integrate your franchise season into the fold. You can read all of that information and more here: http://www.operationsports.com/preview.php?id=81

I�ll keep this one short and sweet. After playing more than a few exhibition games against the AI, I can say with absolute certainly that there is much to be happy with in NHL 2K10. It�s still way too early to declare a winner but I know for sure that we have a fight on our hands. Last year was rough for 2K Sports and hockey. It�s a long winter ahead and fans should keep their eyes and ears open not to miss the best on-ice experience based on a possible anomaly.
